Music Box is extremely haunting. I think I can feel my life
flashing before me in the form of a mental slideshow as I listen and
take in the experience that is Xanthe. I appreciate
the honesty and effrontery that come so clearly across in the lyrical
adventures of this experimental playground. The music creates a
truly mystical feeling, and I feel like I am on a ride as the song
progresses, never knowing where it's about to take me. I have a
feeling that this music was not created to be commercial and that is
why I'm not going to say that it is to lengthy. This is not something I
could listen to all of the time, but that is because it is special.
At times things became achingly repititious, but what can I say?
It works. It's a beautiful song with beautiful vocals and a
message that is perfectly relative. I would highly recommend this
to anyone who is looking for a unique type of stimulation. With
Xanthe, you will not be disappointed.
